Scientific Calendar

PLEASE NOTE: Due to ongoing concerns about the COVID-19 virus, ICTP conferences, schools and workshops that were to be held in person in Trieste this year are cancelled for the first half of 2021. Many activities are now being conducted online. Please check ICTP's Scientific Calendar frequently for updates.

NEW: Attend one of ICTP's virtual seminars.

Each year, ICTP organizes more than 60 international conferences, workshops, and numerous seminars and colloquia.

Europe/Rome There is an increasing number of requests from Member States for assistance in the introduction of stereotactic radiotherapy and radiosurgery for intra-and extra-cranial targets. This workshop will assist clinical medical physicists to understand the complexities of this mode of radiotherapy. Modern radiotherapy has substantially increased the use of various forms of Stereotactic Radiotherapy (SRT), including Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) and Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS). For these techniques a high radiation dose is delivered in a reduced number of fractions. These treatments are not only performed with specialized, dedicated machines, but also with conventional, non-dedicated linear accelerators equipped with high resolution multi-leaf collimators. In radiotherapy, accurate dose delivered to the patient is essential. For conventional radiotherapy this has been achieved by internationally adopted codes of practice and standardized radiotherapy techniques. However, many of these techniques are not applicable for stereotactic radiotherapy. This course will instruct the participant on how to ensure the quality of stereotactic radiotherapy to provide patients with safe and effective treatments. Topics: Justification for using stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) The physics of SRT with an emphasis on small field dosimetry Simulation and Treatment planning for SRT Treatment delivery of SRT to include the technologies, motion management and image guidance Radiobiology of SRT including fractionation and dose constraints Audits, Clinical trials and quality control Lecturers: E. LINDBÄCK, Karolinska University Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden P. MANCOSU, HUMANITAS Cancer Center, Rozzano, Italy T. RITTER, McGuire VA Medical Center, Richmond, USA Prerequisites: This workshop is for clinically qualified medical physicists (CQMPs as per IAEA publication HHS-25) from United Nations, UNESCO or IAEA Member States who hold a postgraduate-level university degree, preferably in medical physics. The candidate should also have at least 3 years working experience in a hospital and must participate in stereotactic radiotherapy in the clinic. Participants should have an understanding of IAEA TRS-398, "Absorbed dose determination in external beam radiotherapy" and IAEA TRS-483, “Dosimetry of small static fields used in external beam radiotherapy”. The process of selection of participants might include a mandatory written examination. The workshop will be beneficial to clinically qualified medical physicists working in radiotherapy and employing treatment modalities using small fields such as SRT, SBRT and SRS.

Europe/Rome An ICTP Hybrid Meeting Organised in partnership with the Clay Mathematics Institute The conference is intended as an appreciation of the contributions of Tomasz Mrowka Geometry and Topology have seen spectacular recent developments, including the solution of classical problems. As a consequence, the established picture of how various parts of these areas fit together is evolving rapidly. On the topological side, among the topics that have progressed are: four-manifolds obtained as knot traces; knot concordance and homology cobordism, Stein fillings. On the Floer homology side, we have powerful new computational methods and new invariants of embedded graphs and webs. On the more analytic side, we have new compactness results and potential new invariants. Topics: Interplay of 3-dimensional and 4-dimensional Topology Floer homology theories and associated invariants Khovanov homology Geometric and analytic aspects of gauge theoretic equations Speakers: D.
